Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake with ice cubes. Strain into a double old-fashioned glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with mint and a spent lime shell. Optionally, augment with a sugar stick. Raise your glass and toast to absent friends.
* If you don't have a fresh white grapefruit to juice, use bottled or canned unsweetened white grapefruit juice and add a dash of grapefruit bitters.
